Chapter 28

Of course, every groom had been obedient to Xie He, and their families had been better than the last. However, she hadn’t been in contact with Lu An much over the years, so Jin Nian didn’t know if she had married again. Ultimately, Jin Nian admired and envied Xie He. It was not just her, but anyone who had interacted with her had found it difficult not to be conquered by her indifferent attitude. Xie He was the woman Jin Nian had ever met who dared to love and hate the most. She had not cared about what others thought of her. To be honest, she was really cool.

“Jin Nian, stop learning useless things from Xie He.” Lu An said coldly before pushing the door open and leaving the room. After he left, the room still had a faint scent of oranges from his body. Lu An didn’t use perfume in the past. The first bottle of perfume in his life was given to him by Jin Nian. Jin Nian said that Lu An was a slightly sour orange soda, which was stimulating and refreshing in the mouth.

She closed her eyes and thought of Lu An, who had been all-powerful on the basketball court. He had been the tallest in the crowd, and his aura was the most arrogant. Jin Nian had always been able to find him at a glance. He ran on the field and raised his eyebrows at Jin Nian after he scored. Jin Nian had rolled her eyes at him, only to see him walking towards her from the crowd without hesitation. Then, he snatched the orange soda from her hand. He unscrewed the cap and downed it in one gulp. His protruding Adam’s apple looked exceptionally sexy under the sunlight.

Jin Nian had jumped up and wanted to snatch it. “Give it back to me! This was the last bottle of cold soda in the school’s convenience store! I hate you!” Lu An stuffed the empty bottle into her hands and said that she was immature. “You came to watch me play basketball with empty hands?”

“What?” Do I have to buy a ticket to watch you play?” Jin Nian had asked.” Jin Nian, I’ll use the ball to hit you to death,” Lu An said with a smile.

Jin Nian was completely sober now. The scattered fragments began to combine in her mind. It was no longer the time to study. She found her phone and saw dozens of unread messages, most of them coming from Qiao Ranran. Qiao Ranran had filled the screen with exclamation marks. “Jin Nian, I feel like I’m watching a movie! It’s so magical!” “Jin Nian, you don’t know how much he looked like a knight guarding a princess when he walked in to look for you in the sunlight!”

“You’re really lucky! He’s so handsome!” “Today is a good day. You two can just be together.” Below was a picture. Qiao Ranran said “Help, this is full of a sense of destiny. He seems to be here to snatch the bride!”

Jin Nian clicked on the picture and saw Lu An holding her horizontally in his arms, with her petite figure curled up in his embrace and tightly holding onto his clothes. Lu An looked fierce and seemed like he was here to snatch the wedding. Jin Nian had never thought Lu An as a member of the opposite sex, mainly because they were too familiar with each other. Lu An was like a family member to her. Even just thinking about it felt like a betrayal.

But today, even if Jin Nian was stupid, she should have noticed that their relationship seemed to have changed. Another message came. Jin Nian opened it and saw that it was from Xu Tian. Xu Tian didn’t exchange any pleasantries and got straight to the point, “Jin Nian, do you have time to meet with me?”

Xu Tian was one year older than Jin Nian when they were studying. She was Jin Nian’s senior in the same major and they had classes in the same teaching building, so they would meet almost every day. In addition, they were both in the same animation club at that time, so Jin Nian and Xu Tian naturally became familiar with each other. They had not seen each other for many years. When she thought of Xu Tian, Jin Nian could still remember her bright smile. When Jin Nian saw Xu Tian and Jiang Qingchi walking together, she couldn’t help but look at them curiously. Jiang Qingchi lowered his head and whispered something into Xu Tian’s ear, which made Xu Tian burst into laughter. Xu Tian had a pair of large dimples on her cheeks. Every time she smiled, her eyes curved, and she looked radiant.

Jin Nian had felt that they were a good match from the bottom of her heart. Xu Tian was too beautiful, so beautiful that she didn’t even have the heart to be jealous. Later on, Jin Nian kept a distance from Jiang Qingchi. However, because she had always been in contact with Xu Tian, their relationship was much better than that of ordinary seniors. Xu Tian was the teaching assistant in their department. After hearing about Jin Nian’s roommate’s weird behavior, she volunteered to apply for a change of dormitory and helped her solve the problem. Later, Jin Nian changed her dormitory as she wished. Although the new roommates had not been enthusiastic, they had been at least normal people. Jin Nian thanked Xu Tian from the bottom of her heart.

In the second half of her third year, Xu Tian suddenly broke up with Jiang Qingchi and went abroad to study. After Jin Nian heard the news, she specifically went to find Xu Tian. On one hand, she had wanted to help Jiang Qingchi retain her, but on the other hand, she couldn’t bear to part with Xu Tian. That night, Jin Nian treated Xu Tian to a meal at the canteen. After the meal, Xu Tian bought two Cornetto ice creams and gave her one.
